Quick service, plenty of seating, delicious noodles, dark & cozy. Cannot recommend this place enough, also want to keep it a secret. Parking situation was pretty terrible typical BK. Food & ambiance made it worth it. read more

Get to the Chase: Pros: 1) Excellent food that came out faster than a bullet train 2) Service was top notch 3) There was a mistake in the order for one of the drinks, so they just gave the extra beverage for free 4) Did not break the bank, so I still be able to retire in 40 years 5) Closest authentic unagi I could find in NY since visiting Japan Cons: 1) Tight seating, and need to wait outside which in the winter can be tough read more

Really nice vegan udon. The broth was light but flavorful - with nice notes of yuzu, ginger, and some sweetness. The noodles were perfectly chewy. The inari and tempura bits made for nice toppings as well. This came to around $22 after tax and tip, which was pretty reasonable. read more

Really easy to miss this udon spot but I love the aesthetic and vibe. Very similar aesthetic to an udon shop you'd see in Tokyo. There are 13 seats inside and some outdoor seating. All of the ordering is done through the QR code and it's pretty fast to get all the food. I ordered the niku udon and a Mexican coke. The noodles really tasted homemade and super chewy. Loved my dish and can't wait to go back. Reasonable prices and really efficient service. read more

Amazing place! I came here on a Monday evening for dinner. They only take walk-ins. No reservations or take-out/delivery. Service is self service QR code where you can order on your phone. They'll bring you your order when it's ready. I highly recommend the cold udon! Very chewy and delicious. Very cool ambiance too. Looking forward to coming back. read more

Don Udon is exactly what I was looking for, a no frills udon place that serves great udon for not an insane price (looking at you Raku). Ordering is via QR code which is nice and efficient; the food comes out pretty quickly too. Vibes feel like a down to earth Japanese restaurant, not upscale at all which is great. read more

Bona fide Japanese food bar. Delicious, cheap, fast service. We were immediately sat at their craftily assembled expansive outdoor space, which was already busy for an early Monday dinner. We were able to access the menu and order with a QR code, where they have an extensive Udon selection. AMAZING that their udon broths are all fish broths unless otherwise labeled (just one is beef and one pork). Service was expeditious and friendly. Here was our order: - Udon wakame udon (seaweed udon, hot, subtle but delicious umami) and the Ume oroshi bukkake udon (has wasabi, very tasty flavor profile, cold) - Takowasa (wasabi octopus, favorite item -- delicious) - inari sushi (rice stuffed in deep-fried, softened tofu packets) - Mentai Gohan (cod roe on steamed rice -- very good) Looking forward to frequenting this neighborhood spot! read more

The food was so good, we went twice in a row! First, for dinner service, it gets pretty packed, so you do have to wait in line outside. Lunch service was much easier and faster. Once you're let in, you order by the QR code which speeds up the process bc you pay when you order. All you have to do once you order is eat and leave. Now, the food! So, good, we initially went in and tried the beef on noodles both dry and soup. The noodles are so bouncy and chewy and fresh. The seasoning/ umami is JUST right. Second time we tried 2 different dishes, unagi and the Mentai shirasu oroshi udon. Both were so great again, with perfect balance of umami and added toppings. read more

i got the dipping udon with a sesame sauce, which was an affordable & comforting meal. the udon texture was right on point, and while it didn't blow me away, i still enjoyed the sesame sauce. such a great, no-frills place for solo dining, especially if you snag a seat by the windows! the staff were super kind & service was quick, and you order your food via a qr code so it's great whether you're in a pinch or just want a nice meal! read more

Don Udon - sesame dipping udon - Noodles Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After escaping Bed-Stuy, we wandered into Crown Heights for an early weekday dinner and spotted a new udon restaurant that immediately caught our eye. We didn't expect much, but ended up blown away. Food: 5/5 We initially planned on something simple--just an udon set--but couldn't help ourselves and added an eel appetizer and take wasabi to start. The udon? Hands down some of the best we've ever had. The noodles were perfectly chewy yet tender--like fresh pasta--and the flavor of the broth was rich without being overpowering. I got a set with beef udon without soup with a small side of rice with Ikura (salmon roe), and there was so much beef that I could barely finish. My husband ordered the hot version and a separate bowl, and we both left extremely satisfied. I've literally paid $20+ elsewhere for half the portion and flavor. The value here is crazy--especially in Brooklyn. For around $100 total with tip, we were absolutely stuffed. Standout dishes: * Beef udon (hot or cold--can't go wrong) * Eel appetizer * Curry rice bowl Service & Vibes: 5/5 This spot is tiny--maybe 15 seats max--and you're definitely elbow-to-elbow with other diners. So if you need personal space, this might not be your vibe. But it gave total Japan vibes in the best way. You order via QR code, there's a self-serve water station, and food came out lightning fast--like, full sets and apps in under 25 minutes. The hostess was kind and welcoming, despite the busyness. That said, the place fills fast, so go early if you want to avoid a wait. It's strictly first-come, first-served. Absolutely coming back. The noodles were next-level. The portions were generous. The price? Honestly unmatched for the quality. If you're cool with tight seating and want some of the best udon in Brooklyn--this place delivers. Just don't come with a big group or a need for elbow room. read more

Hostile service and attitude! Super rude and unprofessional. I kindly asked "Hi, are you open right now please" (the sign said closed, and it looked empty) the response was with an unexceptionable attitude "we are opened, No dogs." and was ready to sprint back in when there restaurant was basically empty! I asked "could we sit outside(politely pointing at the tables)" and they said "No" and disappeared. Did not even bother to ask if my dog was a service animal or if I was even eating with my girlfriend who was outside with the dog, or even offered takeout! This is the most honest experience is NYC ever! This place must be flagged! read more

Uzaku Kyuri is so damn good. This place is still as good as the first time I came here. But unfortunately the first review I made didn't upload the pictures. Niku Oroshi Bukkake Udon is so nice and savory. Goma Tsuke udon is fresh tasting and my wife likes it. read more

Don Udon - Noodles Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've been curious to try Don Udon on Park Place for quite some time, and I after a failed attempt due to them being packed, I was able to score a seat for an early Tuesday dinner. The space is cozy (read: small), with seating for 10 people or so. Most seats are along the counter surrounding the cooking station, and a couple of seats are facing the front window overlooking the street The decor is minimalist, relaxed, and welcoming, with little interesting details like Japanese masks, vases, a puppet, a Gundam head adding a personal touch. Service is very quick: you place your order/pay/tip via your phone, and the food arrives almost immediately. Prices are reasonable for the quality - most bowls run $17-20, which feels fair given the portion sizes and freshness. They also have kids udon, which is nice. Their house-made udon noodles have a perfect chewy, bouncy texture; a pleasure to eat. For appetizer, I had the Takowasa/raw octopus, which was excellent: tasty and chewy, with pickled veggies providing a nice crunch to balance the pleasantly chewy texture of the octopus. For udon I had the seafood-based Asari Udon: the broth was delicate but flavorful, and the clams complemented the udon texture perfectly. I loved this dish! Only downsides: it gets packed during peak hours, and they don't take reservations. Pro tip: go early (before 6pm) or late (after 8:30pm) to avoid the worst of the wait times. read more

We wanted a quick meal, but the food took forever. I mean, it's not fast food, but all the food items sold here are from frozen food that you can easily prepare at home, I don't know why it took them so long. The server was the only person serving and he wasn't friendly. read more

Interior is designed similar to a traditional izakaya restaurant where the menu is relatively simple and straightforward. The udon has a nice bouncy texture and was quite refreshing. Tmmy friend and I agreed that the cold udon was better than the hot one in terms of flavor and noodle texture. The price is a bit on the higher end compared to its quantity, so perhaps a little larger potion of udon or niku would make it more worth it. Highly recommend this place if you're craving a simple yet delicious bowl of udon. read more

Cute new udon spot in the neighborhood with people constantly lining up. They have wooden seats out front labeled 1,2,3,4 and so on and that's where you wait for your turn. The line moves fast as it's a no frills udon spot and the food comes quickly. The broth was unique, with bits of yuzu adding an interesting touch. The udon noodles were thick and chewy. Great addition to the crown heights neighborhood read more

Don has become one of my favorite neighborhood spots! It's a cozy noodle shop vibe inside, although there is outdoor front patio seating too. I always order the sweet tofu udon with a side of unagi and it's always fresh and satisfying. You order on your phone and service is very quick. You can be in and out in 20 minutes. Highly recommend! read more

We live in the neighborhood and I was excited to try this place. We went a few minutes before they opened for lunch on a Sunday, and there was already a few people in line. There is only counter seating and it filled up quickly with a line forming, but I would say the average turnover time per party is 20-30 minutes, so you probably won't have to wait for long. Definitely not a place to go with more than 2-3 people, though! Super fast, super good. Loved watching them prepare the food behind the counter. read more

Don udon is a spot where you feel completely transported to Japan. There is always a line but it moves somewhat quickly if you are ok with sitting outside . If any existing customers are reading this or future customers might I please emphasize this is a 12 seater narrow spot where you are supposed to slurp noodles and then leave !!!! Please do not stay and chit chat for 45 mins or 1 hour . Staff is super nice and won't tell you to leave but my anxiety was having anxiety when I was there and I saw many customers lingering around having a nice old chit chat when there was a line of 20 people outside the noodle spot. Please be courteous and leave to a coffee shop nearby where you can continue your chit chat! Thank you ! Also this place is more suited for lunch or snack. Or you are a small eater. Took my husband here for dinner and he was a little peckish after the meal read more

Minimal! Fast! Easy and friendly ;) good Japanese local atmosphere udon restaurant! Their udon has "koshi" that not too soft, pretty chewy. I asked the broth and they do use vegan broth for vegan menus! (I prefer regular broth) got Kitsune udon with Wakame and beef udon. Both are so good. It is really a small place but they do work efficiently with QR code that you can order and pay with your phone. It all make sense with small businesses that they can do with good vibe. I respect it!!! read more

This right here was the tits. You know when you have a craving for some noodles but can never quite find a place going out of the way for? We live in Queens so this was completely out of the way, but it was damn well worth it. I couldn't even tell you what we had but it was a udon soup with beef. It was so cozy. Like a warm hug from your momma. It was a very busy environment though and the line just seemed to be getting longer but they are rocking in there. If they tell you you'll be seated in 15 mins you better believe it and be ready, or kick rocks. read more

A lovely little brand new udon restaurant owned by two friendly and kind Japanese staff/chef. The interior is designed similar to a traditional izakaya restaurant where the menu is relatively simple and straightforward. For a brand new restaurant that is still trying to get its bearings, their food and service is pretty good! The udon has a nice bouncy texture and was quite refreshing as a dipping noodle dish with the ikura, shiso leaf and grated daikon! The price ($20) is a bit on the higher end compared to its quantity, so perhaps a little larger portion of udon or ikura would make it more worth it! The unagi don was perfect as it is, with a nice plump portion of eel that's perfectly tender and savory! The quality and quantity of the dish was perfect for its price tag ($18) as well! Highly recommend it if you're craving a simple yet delicious bowl of unagi don! Overall, Don Udon has so much potential of being an affordable yet comforting dining option and I can't wait for them to overcome and adjust to the challenges of being a new restaurant (I.e., with more descriptions of what's in each udon, pictures of each dish, etc). Perhaps in the future they can also add some nice appetizers as well, such as dashi egg omelette, Takowasa, etc! Please give this new restaurant a shot! Thank you so much for reading and best of luck! (: read more
